Mark Oborn,Testimonials & Dental Fear Stories

Hello and thanks for finding your way to my blog.

Our SEO project with Mark Oborn is gathering pace. We have recently had 2 new patients as a result of our higher profile on line. More to come soon methinks!

One lady I saw yesterday from the Newbury area said, I have been researching all over the world on-line for my problems, only to find the dentist I want is right here in Newbury!

Perhaps we can hep you too. Have a look a some of our testimonials and some detailed stories in the patients own words. I hope you find some inspiration here.

Another very unusual Blog post

Do you or anyone you know, need a reliable and capable decorator/ tiler, preferably in the West Berkshire/ South Oxfordshire area?

Will consider travelling further afield for larger jobs - otherwise, you guessed it, no job too small and at very reasonable rates. My son Marc, has just been laid off, so is looking for work, naturally. If this is of interest to you or you can pass on the request, that would be great.

Sand Lizard in Newbury

I always fancied myself as a naturalist. As a youngster brought up in Central London my favorite places were London Zoo and The Natural History Museum. Both were just short bus or tube train rides away. On a wet Saturday I could be found sketching whales or dinosaurs in the N.H.M. Sad I know, but the joy of the natural world and biology drew me at first to Medicine
(aged 11) and I knew I was aiming for dentistry by the time I was 16.

So I was so excited this afternoon when my wife called out from the garden where she had been sweeping the patio. He eagle eyes had spotted a small lizard. I recognised it as a Sand Lizard but even as I write this blog post I am unsure how rare it is in the wilds of this corner of West Berkshire. Here is a description on the Wild England website where it says they "can only be found in Dorset and Surrey in undisturbed heathland with thick vegetation and bare patches of sand". Now there are two areas of heathland that I know of locally ( possibly others too). These are the commons at Greenham and Bucklebury both of which are several miles away. One on the far side of Newbury town , the other across clay woodlands, farmland and village gardens.

Would you like to know what the dentist is doing?

Our new business cards and referral cards have arrived at last. Their message is aimed at those who are normally too anxious about the idea of a visit to the dentist to pick up the phone until some dental disaster strikes.

However often we chant the “prevention is better than cure “or “the stitch in time” mantras, for many folk this just doesn’t make sense. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is what every dentist will have heard from time to time. The trouble is that “broke” may mean big trouble. So what may seem like a smart idea (”Leave well alone”) may not be!

21st century dentistry with all its hi-tech gizmos, help detect problems way before pain begins or disaster strikes. That is the way to go.

We use an intra-oral camera or “tooth –cam” to highlight minor problem areas or discover small cracks. We show you the issues so you will know exactly what we are talking about and why. Here's an example. Using the tooth cam I can show each stage of what we are doing from beginning to end.

This is a faulty silver filling with cracks in the tooth.

Here the filling has been removed and the new white filling is being built up.

Here is the finished rebuild as we show it to our patients
